London: UK: Ward Lock, 1961. 1st edition. Red cloth with black titles at spine. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, very minor wear, in protective mylar cover. "At first glance, it seemed to be no more than a rather original window display-and Madame Charmian's gown shop was noted for that. But those who paused and took a closer look saw something very odd about that macabre setting; that wax figure garbed in funereal black, the vase, containing a single lily, set beside it. Soon a crowd had collected ... someone sent for the police.... Who killed Madame Charmian? Above all, who and what was Madame Charmian? Time and again Divisional Superintendent Maxwell Quayne, helped by his henchman, Sergeant Bunn, runs up against a dead end as the answers to these and other riddles so subtly evade his most painstaking investigations. And when, at last, the truth comes out, he himself is perhaps as surprised as you will be...." --Publisher. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. Book.
